‘LANTERNS!’
5:30 p.m., Wildwood Park for the Arts. $5-$10.

As if Wildwood wasn’t picturesque enough to begin with, all weekend the
park’s celebrating the first full moon of the lunar year by turning the
grounds into a nighttime Epcot. By navigating walking trails illuminated
by fire pits and paper lanterns, visitors can stroll to Morocco for
kabobs and fortunetellers, Venice for cognac at Carnivale, Shakespeare’s
England for ale and theater, and — this is really cool — the Moon for
riddles and moon pies. A true outdoor spectacle and the picture of
wholesome fun, “Lanterns!” is ripe for families, but fellas, if this
isn’t a perfect little happening for a date, I’ll eat the keyboard I’m
typing this on. Gates open at 5:30 p.m. Friday through Sunday. They
close at 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and at 9 p.m. on Sunday. Food
and drink will be for sale inside the park. JT
